LORMAN — Alcorn State University announced Tuesday that it was ending what has become known as the Capital City Classic.

The Braves’ rivalry game with Jackson State University this fall will take place at 1 p.m. Nov. 17 in Jack Spinks-Marino Casem Stadium on the school’s main campus in Lorman, according to a media advisory sent out by the school.

Alcorn President M. Christopher Brown II said in the advisory that the transfer of ownership from general state ownership to Jackson State complicated the perceived neutrality of the site. He also said the lack of having a title sponsor hurts the cost-benefit of the location.

“Shreveport offers significant dollars from the tax-base to support the Port City Classic, but much of the support in Jackson is in-kind,” Brown said in the advisory. “Absent a corporate sponsor, the diminution of revenues to cover stadium rent, game security, parking attendants and travel logistics, not to mention a growing list of extraneous events, is not a conservative fiscal approach at a time when state universities must prudently spend every penny.”
